Scene 1 (0s)
[Audio] The cashier beeping groceries out the store stops and stares at an item she thought had vanished, hmms to herself then beeps it on. When a copywriter dies, do the bottles and brands that she put on the airstrip that is the checkout counter tarry momentarily in the business of flying out of stores? In the middle of the night, when the watchmen yawn, do the shelves rattle a little, for a second at least? When the canned and prettily-labelled tumble into plastic bags, do they do so in slow motion, and silently, preening as if for the camera, when a copywriter dies?.
